I have a curiosity question for the Open MPI user community: what version of SLURM are you using?
I ask because we're honestly curious about what the expectations are regarding new versions of Open MPI supporting older versions of SLURM. I believe that SchedMD's policy is that they support up to 5-year old versions of SLURM, which is perfectly reasonable. But then again, there's lots of people who don't have support contracts with SchedMD, and therefore don't want or need support from SchedMD. Indeed, in well-funded institutions, HPC clusters tend to have a lifetime of 2-4 years before they are refreshed, which fits nicely within that 5-year window. But in less well-funded institutions, HPC clusters could have lifetimes longer than 5 years. Do any of you run versions of SLURM that are more than 5 years old? -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com
